Ovada and its countryside feel like an up-and-coming Langhe, although comparing it to another territory doesn't do it justice at all. This town has its own identity and two of Piemonte's rather hidden crown jewels, the wines Dolcetto di Ovada DOC and Ovada DOCG.

Acqui Terme, from acque termali, “thermal waters,” is not all that this city has to offer. If we were to describe Acqui Terme in just one word, it would be synthesis, expressing its mix of a multicultural background, territory, and natural elements.

Strevi is only one town, but it seems like two. Divided into upper and lower halves by the state highway chopping through like the swing of an axe, this small center just a few miles away from Acqui Terme announces itself with the force of its castle and high ramparts that flank the city walls, encircled by thriving forests, orchards, and vineyards.
